GOD CREATES ALL

FAITH CAPSULE: The calling of God can be painful at the initial stage.

Revelation 4:11

God creates all for His calling.
The calling of God goes through a process for His purpose.
God alone created all for His glory and His honor. Revelation 4:11 buttressed, “You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power; For You created all things, and by Your will, they exist and were created.”
What is it that you do not understand about God?
He alone is the Almighty, the Ancient of days.
1 Timothy 6:15 describes God, “which He will manifest in His own time, He who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings and Lord of lords.” God alone is above and beyond all as Psalmist said it right, “The Lord sat enthroned at the Flood, And the Lord sits as King forever.” (Psalm 29:10)
God will make and un-make.
God is the unchanging changer.
God alone will reverse the irreversible.
No one creates self.
In the journey of life is the calling of God to exist for His glory.
To exist for His glory is the task to engage, to arrive at the divine assignment.
In life, the journey is a process for His purpose.
When God calls you, and you are not connected to God, to continually concentrate on the calling of God is the track to become far from God.
In the calling of God, dwelling in His call and abiding in His direction is the evidence to be connected with God continually answering the calling of God.
God has a calling for all with different assignments.
God created all for His purpose, for His glory.
God is worthy to receive glory, honor, and power.
He created all things to exist. (Revelations 4:11)
Whatever God calls you for, or when He calls you for His purpose, to send you will mark you as a candidate for His blessing.
The calling of God can be painful at the initial stage.
However, the blessing is in place.
Be obedient. Do not miss the blessing of God.
The breaking of God at the calling will make one to be blessed.
His breaking comes along with His blessing.
The breaking of Jesus is a blessing for the believers who live for Him.
In the time of His calling, the one that answered will never leave broken.
When God called Lot and his family for salvation, the wife of Lot looked outside of the direction of God, for her self-destruction. (Genesis 19:26)
The calling of God does not come without challenges.
Regardless of challenges, there is the promise of God to see one through in His calling. The word of God promised in 1 Thessalonian 5:24, “He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it.”
Deny doubt!
Doubt will discourage one from arriving at the calling of God.

Prayer for today: Ask for your faith in answering Him not to be a failure.

PRAYER FAILS NOT

FAITH CAPSULE: What God cannot do is to fail.

Psalm 47

In seeking God, wisdom, knowledge, and understanding shall provoke the hand of God to experience the goodness of God.
What one does to seek God with wisdom, knowledge, and understanding shall be back with power to gain the presence of God.
Psalm 47:7 states, “Praise God with understanding.”
As the word of God asks for understanding in praising God, so there is a need for understanding in every way of seeking God.
In praying before God, there is a need for understanding.
In life, the level of understanding one possesses shall determine how far one goes with God.
Growing in understanding of God is a way to grow, knowing God.
Prayer demands understanding.
Pray with understanding, not to pray amiss.James 4:3 admonishes all, “You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures.”
Prayer is seeking God diligently to find God.
Prayer time is not a parade time to impress man but to provoke the hand of God for His favor of goodness. 
Prayer is a labor that is not for one with the spirit of laziness. 
The prayer of Jesus in the garden demonstrates that God will not ignore prayer before Him.
Luke 22:44 identifies the labor prayer of Jesus, “And being in agony, He prayed more earnestly. Then His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.”  
Prayer should be a continual engagement.
With prayer, God answers yes or no and waits.
Apostle Paul testifies about prayer.
Acts 6:4 records, “But we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word.”
Repeatedly, Jesus requests praying and watching.
From the Old Testament to the New Testament, watching and praying repeatedly emphasize our learning as the Bible said in Romans 15:4, “For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope.”
For example:
1. Nehemiah 4:9 records, “Nevertheless we made our prayer to our God, and because of them, we set a watch against them day and night.”
2. Matthew 26:41 states, “Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation.”
3. Mark 13:33 states, “Take heed, watch and pray; for you do not know when the time is.”
4. Luke 21:6, “Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.”
5. Ephesians 6:8, “praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints—”
6. 1 Peter 4:7, “But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers.
At every ground of praying is to seek God prayerfully and be backed with expectation for manifestation.
One thing God cannot do He cannot fail.

Prayer for today: Ask God to give heed to your prayer.

WAIT NOT WORRY

FAITH CAPSULE: Wait for God to prevail is inevitable.

Matthew 6

Prevailing to gain from God, to excel by the grace of God, inhabits waiting on God.
Are you waiting on God?
Do you know about waiting on God at the tip of lips?
Do you know to wait on God unfailing to gain the attention of God?
Without any doubt, God is a caring God.
God waits to act for anyone who waits for Him. (Acts 64:4)
Wait on God to gain His healing word of direction, not to become wasted in a challenging world.
Know that to be alive today is not by right but by the privilege of God. 
Day after day, week after week, month after month is a privilege of God.
Not knowing God is worrying instead of living by the word of God. Matthew 6:25-27 speaks to all, “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?  
Give to the word of God, pay attention to the warning against worrying, and be patient waiting on God. 
God will not deny sincere attention to His word but always attend to such waiting on Him. 
Be encouraged by waiting on the promise of God. 
Isaiah 30:18 states, “Therefore the LORD will wait, that He may be gracious to you; And therefore, He will be exalted, that He may have mercy on you. For the LORD is a God of justice; blessed are those who wait for Him.”  
God is waiting for those who wait on Him. 
Without any doubt, there is no record of any who waits on God and becomes wasted. 
The bondage of over four hundred years of the Israelites in the land of Egypt could not deny the visitation of salvation by God over the Israelites. 
Wait for God to remember you with favor and visit you with salvation.
Know to prevail by waiting on God for His open hand in your direction.
The Bible testifies to the open hand of God. 
Psalm 104:28 points out, “What You give them they gather in; You open Your hand, they are filled with good.”
Psalm 145:16, “You open Your hand and satisfy the desire of every living thing.” 
It does not matter how long you have been waiting, but it does matter that in waiting, wait only on Him and be of good courage.
This month, with faith, expect to experience a new song to the glory of God.

Prayer for today: Ask that the grace of God shall enable your waiting before God and that His goodness and mercy not expire over your life.

PRAYER IS LABOUR

FAITH CAPSULE: Prayer is a labor that is not for one with the spirit of laziness. 

Daniel 6

Give life to prayer before God.
Let your prayer be consistent, knowing there is no other
Seeking God diligently will lead to finding God, and fervent prayer is seeking God to gain the presence of God.
Prayer time is not a parade time to impress man but to provoke the hand of God for His favor of goodness. 
Prayer is a labor that is not for one with the spirit of laziness. 
The prayer of Jesus in the garden demonstrates that God will not ignore prayer before Him.
Luke 22:44 identifies the labor prayer of Jesus, “And being in agony, He prayed more earnestly. Then His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.”  
Ask for engaging in laborious prayer as a way of life, not to be a victim of a wicked world.
A prayer-less is not possible to prevail in the wicked world.
Prayer should be a continual engagement.
With prayer, God answers yes or no and waits.
Are you seeking God prayerfully? Are your expectations for manifestation delayed?
God answers prayer.
With faith, patiently wait on God to experience God.
Engaging in prayer time is not convenient, it is labor with commitment.
Do you have a prayer life?
Is your prayer consistent with commitment?
Daniel demonstrated what it takes to be committed to praying before God. 
Daniel had a heart for God.
As a young one, he purposed heart not to defile God, the character of a prayer vessel.
The life of a believer who lives by the word of God is the target of the wicked of the world.
Daniel is an example of who lives for God.
The life of Daniel is evidence that giving to God in prayer is bound to overcome. Daniel resolved to pray consistently to prevail.
Daniel was a prayer vessel.
Daniel 6:10 records, “Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went home. And in his upper room, with his windows open toward Jerusalem, he knelt down on his knees three times that day, and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as was his custom since early days.”
Custom prayer was the life of Daniel, making the way of life to become one that overcomes challenges.
When Daniel became targeted for an untimely death in the den of lions, his prayer delivered him from the victim of wickedness.
The prayer of Daniel was the frustration of his enemies.
The praying of Daniel denied an untimely death over his life.
Daniel prevailed because he was a praying vessel.
There is no substitute for praying to provoke the move of God.
In the pages of the Bible, living a life of prayer is evidence that God answers.
Apostle Paul testifies about prayer.
Acts 6:4 records, “But we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word.”

Prayer for today: Ask that praying with commitment before God shall be your way of life.

HALLOWING GOD

FAITH CAPSULE: Are you hallowing God or deceiving your world?

Numbers 20:1-13

Are you hallowing His name?
Jesus taught prayer: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name.” (Matthew 6:9) 
Hallowing God is endowing, respecting, sanctifying, and revering the name of God. 
God deserves the honor.
Proverbs 18:10 identifies God, “The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.” What is limiting the understanding of the name of God in your life? 
Moses wanted to know what to call God before delivering the message of God to Pharaoh as God identified His name. 
Exodus 3:13-14 records, “Then Moses said to God, “Indeed when I come to the children of Israel and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they say to me, ‘What is His name?’ what shall I say to them?” And God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” And He said, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you.’”
All should know and always remember that the word of God is not a waste when He states He is a jealous God. 
A jealous God demands attention in every means to call on Him or to answer His calling.
Are you hallowing His name?
As great as Moses was in the hand of God, the sin that deprived him of stepping on the Promised Land was his failure to hallow the name of God. 
When God commanded Moses to speak to the rock for water to quench the thirst of the Israelites, Moses went and struck the rock. (Numbers 20:7-9) 
The act of Moses dishallowed God, and it counted against Moses as disobedient before God. 
God responds to Moses, “…Because you did not believe Me, to hallow Me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them.” (Numbers 20:12)
A failure to hallow God is evidence of a lack of belief; it is also rebellious to God. Numbers 27:14 records, “For in the Wilderness of Zin, during the strife of the congregation, you rebelled against My command to hallow Me at the waters before their eyes…”
Trespassing against God also counted as dishallowing God, as Moses did, “because you trespassed against Me among the children of Israel at the waters of Meribah Kadesh, in the Wilderness of Zin, because you did not hallow Me in the midst of the children of Israel.” (Deuteronomy 32:51)
As a result of the truth that Moses did not hallow God, the word counted unbelief, rebellion, and trespassing against Moses. 
Know to hallow God in all seeking Him.
“The Lord of Hosts, Him you shall hallow; let Him be your fear.” (Isaiah 8:13) 
In your walk, let God know your fear for Him as a way of life.

Prayer for today: Ask that you enable yourself not to be a failure before God.
